IDF:

Ali Larijani is dead.

The IDF says Ali Larijani was the “de facto leader of the Iranian regime.”

The Iranian Ambassador in Moscow denied that the new Supreme Leader Khamenei is in Russia for medical treatment.

Netanyahu:

This is a new Middle East—but not like Peres’s, a non-realistic vision with rose-colored glasses.

Relationships are being formed with some countries that until recently seemed imaginary.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar:

By the way, we still haven’t seen Mojtaba… it is beginning to be embarrassing for this regime.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar:

Ali Larijani had a $10 million prize on his head—we did it for free.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar:

The regime can only be toppled by the Iranian people, yet without external help, the Iranian people cannot liberate themselves.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar:

The Lebanese government isn’t doing anything to stop Hezbollah.

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis:

Greece is not going to participate in any operation around the theater of current operations.

I doubt that there is much European appetite for such a mission right now.

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Hormuz:

Unless there is a European-endorsed mission, Greece will not participate on its own.

And I think the likelihood of such a mission right now is very low.

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis:

We don’t believe that the structural problems of the Middle East can be solved through military operations.

At the same time, of course, we fully acknowledge that Iran cannot have nuclear weapons and cannot threaten its direct neighbors.

Netanyahu:

We are undermining the regime in the hope of giving the people an opportunity to remove it.

It will not happen all at once, and it will not be easy. But if we persist, we will give them an opportunity to take their fate into their own hands.

We are helping our American allies in the Gulf. We will assist both indirectly and through direct actions — there are many more surprises ahead.

Joe Kent, Trump’s Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, has decided to resign, saying:

“I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.”

Director of National Economic Council Kevin Hassett:

If the war were to be extended, it wouldn't really disrupt the US economy very much at all.

It would hurt consumers, and we'd have to think about what we'd have to do about that, but that's really the last of our concerns right now, because we are very confident that this thing is going ahead of schedule.
